Need help calculating your fees?

All courses listed in the schedules above include the per unit cost and the fee for the course as a standard full time year load. The unit cost is based on the unit having a value of 10 credit points.

To check the load and credit point value of the units within your course, visit the course entry in the Course Handbook. All units within that course are listed in the entry, and you can connect to the unit entry page from that course page.
